This detached residence offers a wealth of original character, from its charming fireplaces and stained glass windows to its period internal doors. With four bedrooms and two reception areas, this home is well-suited for family life while providing ample space to create your ideal living environment. The generous south-facing garden and long driveway that accommodates parking for several vehicles are notable features that enhance its appeal in the area.
Upon arrival, you’re welcomed by an inviting front garden featuring floral beds adorned with fuchsia, rose, and lilac bushes. Inside, the entrance hall showcases elegant Canadian pine floorboards that extend into the reception rooms, contributing to a warm atmosphere. The original staircase and under-stair storage add further charm to this unique property.
The main living area flows into a dining space with lovely garden views, creating an ideal heart for family gatherings. The kitchen retains its original dresser and chimney mantle piece—a nod to traditional craftsmanship—while benefiting from dual-aspect windows that flood the room with natural light. A convenient ground floor W.C completes this level.
Upstairs, the spacious landing with exposed floorboards leads to a master bedroom complete with fitted wardrobes, a bay window, and an elegant original fireplace. The three additional bedrooms—two of which also feature fireplaces—provide versatile accommodation options. A good-sized bathroom includes a classic roll-top bath. Notably, the loft space is partially boarded and holds potential for extension (subject to planning permissions).
While the property does require modernisation throughout, it presents an excellent opportunity for customization according to personal tastes. Its location within a vibrant community is another attractive feature.
Stepping outside reveals a wonderful south-facing rear garden filled with established plants such as camellia and an eating apple tree. With a raised patio area perfect for outdoor dining, this secluded space is ideal for relaxation amidst nature.
Conveniently located near local shops on Portland Road and easy access to Old Shoreham Road leading to the A27, you'll find bakeries, pubs, cafes, supermarkets, restaurants, and high street shops all within walking distance.
